Eating in Zakopane

When it comes to eating in Zakopane there is only one question, where shall we eat tonight?! There are over 30 restaurants located in the town centre alone, certainly more than you will be able to try during a weeks ski or snowboard holiday!

White Side Holidays have tasted food from literally every restaurant along the main street (we get hungry during the winter) and can honestly say there is not one restaurant that we would say “Maybe don’t go there because…”. Below you will find more about the eating options in Zakopane and some of our favourite restaurants that you might like to try.

Senso restaurant, Zakopane

There are around ten local Polish restaurants located along the main street in Zakopane town centre. The local restaurants are famous for their Polish soups, filling meaty dishes and pierogis. Not only do these Polish restaurants serve tasty food at very reasanable prices, but they all share a common theme, beautifully decorated wooden interiors, open kitchens, traditionally dressed staff and local bands providing entertainment. Undoubtedly one of the best local Polish restaurants is located on the top floor of the 4* Hotel Belvedere, a short walk from the town centre. Although slightly more expensive than the central restaurants, Pod Aniolem (under an angel) is named due to it’s scenic location close to the sky with beautiful views of the Tatra mountains. The combination of delicous food, stunning scenery and soothing music will leave you relaxed and well fed.

If the local food doesn’t appeal to you then you can always take a trip to one of Zakopane’s fast food restaurant choices in the form of KFC, Pizza Hut or McDonalds! However, if you are looking for something a bit tastier, less Polish and still great value then here are some of our favourites.
